Day 21: Turning Into a Lifestyle

Broccoli mush

Today marks the 3 weeks! I am proud of myself for making it this far and it's crazy that I only have 9 more days to go. Honestly, the more and more I eat like this the more I feel like it's turning into a way of life. After my 30 days I think that I will keep eating like this with a few modifications. Such as buying almond milk from the store. Yes, it is technically a processed food but I think I can live with myself if that's the worst of the worst of the processed foods I eat/drink. Overall though I will continue to eat a lot of veggies and meats and stay away from sugars. Especially sucralose and all of those "fake" sugars like Splenda. I will also stay away from grains... I feel a lot better not eating bread, pasta, cereal, bagels, etc. I don't feel as sluggish and my energy levels are really maintained throughout the day. But I think there is a level of enjoying life and enjoying food while you're at it.

Peaches minus the cream

Because my day was lacking of veggies yesterday I tried to incorporate more of them in my meals today. However, I ate a lot more fruit than I should have today... My breakfast was this experimental broccoli egg mush thing. I took leftover broccoli and grilled some onions and sautéed them together. Then I whisked 3 eggs and poured them over top. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. It actually tasted pretty good. I am used to doing that with spinach but not broccoli. 

Chicken broth stewing...

I had a peach and a banana as an afternoon snack. And again I only had 2 MEALS?! Ugh. I am not sure if it's stress or what but I am having to force myself to eat 3 whole meals. For my last week my mission is to eat 3 good meals. I started Whole30 off strong and now I feel like I am failing. But hey, I am doing my best and I really do feel better. I hate to admit it but I am looking forward to taking the after pictures and getting on the scale. I know it's not about weight, but I am excited to see some of my hard work pay off. I feel my hard work paying off on the inside but it will be nice to see physical changes. In other news I am making my own chicken broth in my crockpot. It still has like 15 hours to go but I'll let you know how it turns out...
